Chapter 21 Problem 23

Question

A simple generator has a square armature 6.0 cm on a side. The armature has 85 turns of 0.59-mm- diameter copper wire and rotates in a 0.65-T magnetic field. The generator is used to power a lightbulb rated at 12.0 V and 25.0 W. At what rate should the generator rotate to provide 12.0 V to the bulb? Consider the resistance of the wire on the armature.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 21 problem number 23 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A simple generator has a square armature 6.0 cm on a side. The armature has 85 turns of 0.59-mm- diameter copper wire and rotates in a 0.65-T magnetic field. The generator is used to power a lightbulb rated at 12.0 V and 25.0 W. At what rate should the generator rotate to provide 12.0 V to the bulb? Consider the resistance of the wire on the armature.
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction and Faradays Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
